After the 30 June “deadline”, does public anger match the evidence on migration?

Descripción

Georgina Campbell, researcher and practitioner at the Wild Law Institute, speaks to John Maytham about a new perspective on South Africa’s migration debate in the aftermath of the 30 June anti-immigration “deadline”, which saw heightened public attention, protest activity, and intense social media debate. She unpacks the argument that rising anti-migrant sentiment may be driven more by economic frustration and perception than by the available evidence, including research suggesting migrants often contribute to economic activity and job creation. Campbell also discusses major gaps in migration data in South Africa, and why many public claims about undocumented migration remain difficult to verify.

Final salute to SA Navy Commodore who spied for Russia against the apartheid state

Final salute to South African Navy Commodore who spies for the Soviet Union against apartheid John Maytham speaks to Dr Rob Adam, former Director General of the Department of Science and Technology, former CEO of the South African Nuclear Energy Corporation, former Managing Director of the SKA Radio Telescope project, and a fellow political prisoner of Dieter Gerhardt, following news of the former South African Navy commodore’s death. Gerhardt is one of the most controversial figures in South Africa’s military history, rising to senior rank in the apartheid navy while secretly working for Soviet military intelligence and passing highly sensitive South African and Western military information to the USSR during the Cold War. Adam says he believes Gerhardt’s motivation is rooted in principle rather than personal gain, describing him as deeply anti-racist and anti-apartheid, and adds that Gerhardt remains discreet about the operational details of his espionage, speaking only in broad terms about his work. For Maytham and Adam, Gerhardt’s legacy remains deeply contested: to some, he is a traitor, while to others, he is a committed anti-apartheid activist who risks everything for a cause he believes is just.
